Hoping the weather picks up so we can have some better matches on better pitches

Bolton have a better chance of winning the premiership than England do of taking a test off Australia

hmmmmmm, with some of England fielding performances in that test, maybe Tufnell's not the best option..........

Im surpirsed all the catches didnt stick considering the combo of gel, mousse, wax and his own come that must cover his hands.

hahaha lol

you can't axe dizzy, or at least not until someone else takes up the mullet!

he may of dropped a few catches but regardless pietersen is still a fucking star and look out he is only getting started. i see a big test career ahead of him. i think he should be coming in at number 3 like many of the great batsmen instead of michael vaughn. at least then his partners will stick around long enough for him to make a ton.

i still think we have a chance if our bowlers keep creating the opportunities they have been and the batters borrow some confidence from kev!

i still think they should ask my fav player darren gough to come back to replace hoggard or giles. he didnt have a good one day series but hey it was the start of the summer and he wasnt 100% fit. he is very similar in bowler in pace and line to hoggard just has the experience to really trouble the australian lower order which tends to hang around. plus he is very handy with the bat and has a similar attitude to pietersen when batting against australia.

i know he has retired but bring back Gough!!!

I'd be mightily tempted to swap Collingwood for Giles.
He's as economical a bowler, far superior batsmen (he's hit 344 runs in his past 2 county innings), and his fielding is incredible

point, the problem is the selectors would more likely bring someone shit like robert key in

i think the media should put some more pressure on the selectors like they did with pietersen. get them to take a risk. i never considered it until you mentioned it. forgot about the poor guy. but hey i agree paul collingwood should definately replace giles. more attacking bowler and way better batsman. agreed.
